Dr. Phillip Tierno on "The Today Show"



Dr. Phillip M. Tierno, Jr. is a well known microbiologist with more than 35 year of experience in the field. He is the director of Clinical Microbiology and Diagnostic Immunology at New York University's Tisch Hospital and part time Associate Professor of Microbiology and Pathology at New York University's School for Medicine. He is the author of The Secret Live of Germs: What they are, why we need them, and how we can protect ourselves against them as well as contributing to the American Journal of Public Health, the Journal of Clinical Microbiology, and many others. Dr. Tierno is co-founder and president of the Foundation for Scientific Research in the Public Interest, a non profit organization whose primary objective is to fund scientific research for the public welfare and for which the usual and traditional sources of support are unavailable or encumbered.

Affectionately known to the public as "Dr. Germ", Dr. Tierno has appeared on a variety of television programs including 20/20, Oprah, The Montel Williams Show, Primetime, Dateline, Nightline, Good Morning American and the Today Show. All of Fabrictech 2000's products have been tested extensively by Dr. Tierno to ensure the highest level of protection against allergens and other airborne pathogens. In this video Dr. Tierno tests the pillows of four lucky (or unlucky) guests for dust mites, fungi, molds and other things you wouldn't want to find in your pillow and reveals some shocking results. He explains that these can cause serious problems without the proper protection. The cure is to have an impervious outer covering on you pillows and your mattress. The product that he is holding up is none other than our PillowBarrierTM.
